Chicken is high quality protein, and hepatitis B patients can eat chicken, but when liver damage is serious, eating chicken may induce hepatic encephalopathy, so it is necessary to control the intake of protein. If hepatitis B develops into cirrhosis and there is esophagogastric varices, eating chicken may induce upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, so a soft, liquid diet is needed, and eating chicken is not recommended at this time. Therefore, patients with hepatitis B have to decide whether they can eat chicken according to their condition. For patients with chronic hepatitis B, the intake of chicken can increase protein, which is helpful for disease improvement, and the intake of chicken and other high-quality protein is advocated.
